Great take on a truly depressing problem such as bulemia. 555

Right down calorie alley..by re-modeling what the Carpenters did....shows You're a pretty good carpenter yourself

good parody, Stuart--it could apply to almost anyone, even if they don't have an eating disorder

I think it's a univerasal thing - people eating alot on Sunday. Big Sunday breakfasts and then big Sunday dinners. Not that I have a problem with that...

Wonderful job, Stuart!

555...mmm...hungry now, must get snack...

Excellent work, Stuart...5s...

funniest one i've read today...i've visited karen's crypt many times.. hear about the new karen album coming out. ?..her picture is on the spine...5s

No voting disorder on this one. 5s.

I couldn't weight to read this after viewing the title. Well done.

I weigh in with straight 5's...Didn't Karen Carpenter die of Anorexia?

Thanks Dee - thanks Airfarcewon - Royce, except for the barfing part, it certainly does happen to me - Ash, that's EXACTLY how it happens to me - thanks Johnny, enjoy those donuts - thanks Arwen, your perfectness - thanks Alvin (by now her spine could be on the spine) - thanks John - thanks for your early confidence Guy - MasonR, I thought she brought the problem of bulemia into the public eye, but it may have been anorexia (probably too similar to call - have to google it)

Mason - Yes she did and I think that is what Alvin was alluding to in his comment about her pic being on the spine of the album.

Stuart - fine parody about a very sad affliction and a very sad individual situation. Even if a lot of there stuff was extra syrupy the Carpenter's had a lot of talent and Karen Carpenter had truly exceptional vocal abilities. I remember watching a VHS cassette of one of their concerts with every generation in my family watching and enjoying it...from my Dad, who is 89 now, down to my Niece. I can tell you for sure that no other group or artist will fit into that category. 5's...

Paul, thanks, and this topic came up on the messageboard recently. Nobody had a purer voice than Karen Carpenter.....I have Carpenters Greatest Hits and it punches above its weight with the amount of time it gets on our home CD player. Honey-voice trumps syruppy lyrics in my book.

Keep 'em comin', Stuart....555

(ABC05) Good one, Stu.5's

( ABC-G-05 ) I have some mixed feelings on this one on funny. No vote for now. Sorry Stuart.

(ABC05) One man's meat, etc(poor choice of words, I know)...I didn't find this funny.

not funny, nor angry, nor inspiring, nor political, nor erotic - but still a parody

"I am NOT an animal - I am a parodic being"

(ABC) Mmm, hungry again, must get food.

We know you're not an animal Stuart. I guess I'm the one failing here to find the substitution for funny in this case. I have several but this isn't included, though that may change ( as my pacing guildlines did ) if you can point it out.

actually I AM an animal, Red Ant, a wombat in fact! (shriek!) - nah, the quote was my parody speaking, not me, in a take-off of the famous quote from "Elephant Man" which is probably before your time - when he complained about being misunderstood, etc.

all I meant was (and this is only half-serious) that this little effort is still a parody, despite its humour not being obvious, and that there are plenty of other styles of parody, apart from humorous, (such as angry, political, erotic) etc. to be explored, as there are with all forms of creative expression

- and I'm certainly not Robinson Crusoe with that thinking either - plenty of people before me have suggested that "funny" should really be seen as a synonym for "well-crafted." I certainly see it that way - and I'm very happy for this effort to die by that sword!! cheers mate

(G) Not bad, by any means, but not one of my favorites of yours, either.

(G) Vote and comment above

(ABC05) Good one, Stuart, on a sad subject. 555

(ABC) see above comment...still a load o' fun!

Sweet... and more sweet, followed by the cheese course.

ABC - G ... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH so many DKTOS's! maybe if i eat a lot of food the knowledge will magically come to me. Is that likely? No? Actually, I think this is dangerously close to the border between clever use of an artist's song and terribly bad taste. And i'll stop now before I get cyberlynched, especially since Stu was the only one so far to actuallly vote for my parody. But i must vote my conscience by not voting at all. Sorry.

(ABC) DKTOS either, of course I never liked the capenters anyway. An interesting take for a food parody I think.

When I first submitted this it got a 100% positive response - eight months later, there's a lot of negative - bad taste? - why? - I'll have to think about this

thanks Melhi, Dee, Rick, Kristof, Phil, Ethan and MG

ABC--still quite good, Stuart.

(ABC) Why do 5s suddenly appear, every time you write here?

aw shucks, Arwen, but stop! Please!! (you're embarrassing me!)

thanks Charlie - untrue, but very clever

(ABC-G) This was depressing.

ABC-Surprised I missed this before. That could eat away at me for awhile. Nice.
